TSMC 3nm process meets expectations! Mass production in the fourth quarter

3nm process is the highest manufacturing process of chips at present, which can easily produce stronger core processor chips. Recently, it was reported that TSMC has fully mastered the 3nm process and will mass produce the process chip in the fourth quarter of 2022. Let's take a look at the detailed report.

Recently,it was reported from the Internet that the production of TSMC's 3nm chip was postponed to the fourth quarter of 2022. In response to this statement, TSMC said that the development of the 3nm process was in line with expectations, with a high yield rate, and it would mass produce later in the fourth quarter

Previously, it was also revealed that TSMC's 3nm chip production was postponed to the fourth quarter of 2022, and Samsung started to produce 3nm process chips in June, ahead of TSMC. However, the number of Samsung 3nm chips produced is very small, and it will take a long time to improve the output.

According to insiders in the industry, based on the trial production of TSMC's 3nm process at that time, it is expected that after entering mass production in September, the initial yield performance will be better than the previous 5nm process.

On the enhanced version of the 3nm process, TSMC said that its R&D achievements would also be better than expected, with better efficiency, power consumption and yield, and could provide complete platform support for smart phones and HPC related applications in the 3nm era. The N3E process is also expected to enter mass production in the second half of 2023.

At present, it has been confirmed that Apple will become the first customer of TSMC's 3nm process, or will launch the process chip on M2Pro for the first time.

At the same time, TSMC's deployment has not been affected too much, and it is possible to officially launch the 2nm process in 2025 as planned. Data shows that TSMC 2nm process will adopt GAAFET architecture. Compared with TSMC 3nm, the speed is 10% to 15% faster at the same power consumption, and the power consumption is 25% to 30% lower at the same speed. Applications include mobile computing, high-performance computing and complete small chip integration solutions.

It can be seen that TSMC is confident in the research and development of 2nm this time. As the leader of the semiconductor industry, the dynamics of TSMC in the 2nm process will receive absolute attention from the outside world, which also means that this process is of great significance to TSMC.

The 3nm process is bound to bring stronger performance. I believe that all major mobile phone manufacturers will launch more powerful mobile phones in the future. If you are going to change your mobile phone, you might as well stick to it and wait for the launch of 3nm process chip.
